How come we never remember falling asleep?

Question

How come we never remember falling asleep?

Answer 1

Because it doesnt happen within a short time, you close your eyes, and you start to think about stuff, maybe life, or girls..soon you get more and more into your thoughts and before you know it your wrapped up in a dream, thinking that its just a daydream, and then your alarm clock wakes you up haha

Answer 2

i stay up till 6 in the morning partying so and when i hit the floor im out  

Answer 3

I do sometimes because I feel like I am falling before I fall asleep and wake myself up.

Answer 4

It's because before we fall asleep, our minds go into a state where it is basically unconscience, and we dont completely realize what is going on around us. So we are actually asleep before we are asleep. But if our bodies feel a need to suddely wake up during this state, it will jerk, which gives us that sensation of falling off the bed, its jsut our body waking you up!!!
